Earlier this week, I covered the 13 NBA deals I liked most — the steals of the summer.
Jeremias Engelmann’s essay “Why the Celtics actually won the Jaylen Brown trade“ ran at the Boston Globe this week and led the site’s most-read list all day Wednesday. (Read it here — subscription required. The 5x5 original is here.)
Here are the deals that impressed me this summer
